A practical example:
Imagine that you installs the libray "foo" for D, and places the sources at "/usr/include/d/foo" directory, so you need to add "-I/usr/include/d" as compiler argument.

In Debian/Ubuntu there is the "libtango-headers" package, which install, among others, "/usr/include/d/object.di". This Tango "object.di" breaks d2, so you will not be able to compile anything with the "-I/usr/include/d" argument, and so, you cannot compile against your "foo" library.

The problem here is that the "libtango-headers" maintainer decided to place "object.di" directly into "/usr/include/d", overriding to use this directory for any other D compiler/version.
